[Clippings] Shortcut keys don't work?

[Alexander Schneider]

I've tried the option key as well and different other random
combinations - to no avail. My OS is up to date. I installed clippings
for Firefox as well, to see if that would change anything. But the 
shortcut doesn't work for me there either.

Should the issue resolve somehow, i'll let you know. Maybe it has to do 
with the keyboard, but i have no other isues with it.
